Anxiety. Overwhelm. And Lying.
I lied to my therapist last week. He asked me, “How are you doing?” I replied, “I am dealing with a lot but I feel still.” It turns out that the handle I thought I had on the situations going on was not handling well. A cauldron of emotions bubbled up in me to the […]
Cut A Friend
I loved my friends and clients but, I treated them like enemies. I refused to cut a friend. Storytime. Recently, the Lord jerked me up about how I showed up in my friendships and some relationships.

One of the most frequent questions I get is “When are you getting married?” For many years that question made me uncomfortable because my dream was to be married by my 25th birthday. But you know what? I’m really glad that I didn’t get married at 25 like I planned and others expected. Growing up, […]
You Deserve Better From You
Today marks the anniversary of a very defining moment in my life. June 20, 2020, I experienced a moment where I felt like everything I had hoped for and trusted God with fell part. I was left with nothing but a broken heart and roaring mind after someone I loved and trusted hurt me deeply. […]
A Wellmade Match: The Proverbs 31 Man & Proverbs 31 Woman
Today on a day when mothers are celebrated worldwide, I find myself reflecting on the Proverbs 31 woman. You see I grew up hearing Christian women aspiring to be the Proverbs 31 woman. I also heard men desiring a Proverbs 31 woman as their wife. But today, something struck me. We focus on the qualities […]
